Well I just got a hold of some good pictures from the downhill mountain bike race I won the past weekend at Huff Hills Ski Area.  It was a great event and tons of fun.  Sketchy as anything I have ever done but sketchy is fun right?  As long as you kept the speed up and didn't turn you were fine... but we know how that goes, just about everyone rag dolled at least once and I nearly tumbled into the spectators on at least two occasions.  The sections right before and right after the jumps were especially rutted so if you made it into the air straight you were half way there.  Anyway I got lucky and managed to link recoveries to get a clean first run.  The second one didn't go as well, unless I was being graded as a gymnast but the first run time held and I took hold the 1st place solid gold painted assortment of welded together bike parts.  It must have looked good because Beth (my personal an call ski patroller) asked if I was hurt when I made it to the finish.  This is what makes life so fun.  Great people and great event.  Can't wait to teach the little guy the ropes... just kidding Beth.
